Virat Kohli-led India suffered a crushing defeat against an in-form England in the 1st T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. It was India's first instance of successive defeats in the T20I format since November 2019.

Virat Kohli-led India suffered their first back-to-back defeat in T20Is since November 2019 after all-rounder England registered a comprehensive eight-wicket win over the hosts in the first T20 International in Ahmedabad on Friday. Notably, India had last suffered two successive defeats against South Africa and Bangladesh on September 22 and November 3, 2019, while India's only loss in 2020 came against Australia in the Sydney T20I as Virat Kohli's men had a fine run in the shortest format of the game in 2020 where they won 10 out of 11 matches.
